Last week in a nutshell: saying goodbye to The Henry Clay People while saying a big hello to Castledoor and their great new album (review coming soon). Blogging is more fun when it coincides with wine drinking.

Obi Best is mellow, female-fronted indie rock from a former background singer of The Bird and the Bee. Good melodies. And Juliette Commagere sounds good and supposedly has a 13 piece backing band. This will be a fun change of pace show for me.

Tuesday: Cinco de Mayo. Two pretty good choices, but I'm probably going to sit this one out.

Avi Buffalo's first residency show at the Echo. The Echo's page for this show says that there's four bands supporting this show on top of Avi Buffalo. I don't see how that's possible.

Thursday: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros at Regent Theatre, the second of their three shows at the Regent (I wrote Edwin instead of Edward last week. Whoops). I am very excited for this. CER Show of the Week.Friday: Local Natives return after a mini-west coast tour to play Spaceland. To my knowledge it's their first official Spaceland show; they've played Spaceland twice but only as last minute replacements for canceling bands.Saturday: Iron & Wine at the Troubdour. (Sold out)

CER Playlist: Henry Clay People

About Me

Went to the Silverlake Lounge to see the Local Natives on December 8, 2008 and fell into the local LA scene. Started my blog on February 21, 2009 to keep track of it all.
